You could save even more space by just having the user recall the
variable (in the homescreen), then check if Ans was an ASM string, and
(if so), run it.  Anybody want a 200 Byte OS?

The problem is that _many_ people will keep using shells like ZShell
4.0, etc. instead of switching to other shells!  I had enough trouble
trying to switch people at my HS from ZShell to CShell!  Try making
ordinary TI-85 users start looking around for necessary libraries, and
they'll just decide that it's not worth it!
